CET Developer version 1816 is released in May 2018.

Highlighted Features

Upload of Extensions to Amazon

Build Central will now upload extensions directly to Amazon servers instead of to Configura's server in Sweden.

It will by default upload to the Amazon server closest to you based on which Perforce-server you're using, and developers outside Europe should now get a significant speed improvement when uploading extensions.

Note: The old upload method can still be used (by setting UploadToAWS=false in Build Settings) but this fallback will be removed later this year as the data center that hosts the server will be closed down.

New E-mail Settings in Build Central

• Test items now have a new attribute, "ExtraMailRecipientsOnError" that can be used when you want to specify a perforce user or e-mail that will always get e-mailed when the test fails, regardless of Build Settings

• Perforce usernames can now be used instead of e-mail addresses when specifying recipients in Build Settings

• New build setting "SendEmailToUserOnTestActionErrors" (default=False):

When this is setting and "SendMailToUserCausingError" is both True, e-mail will be sent to the developer who submitted a changelist that caused a test to fail. If this setting is False but "SendEmailToUserOnTestActionErrors" is True, e-mail will be sent to the developer who submitted only if an an extension build breaks, not when a test action fails

(Previous behaviour was that SendEmailToUserOnTestActionErrors=True caused e-mail to be sent both for broken extensions and for failed tests).

• New build setting "MailIgnoreRecipients"

You can add perforce usernames and/or e-mail addresses to this list if you _don't_ want them to get e-mails from the builder.
